Stribling Shines But Watkins Deserves Notice | San Francisco 49ers News

Rookie DeZhaun Stribling stole the show with seven catches for 63 yards in the 49ers’ preseason win over the Titans, but don’t overlook Jordan Watkins—the equally talented Ole Miss product who nearly matched his stats. While Stribling’s breakout was expected (he’s been hyped since OTAs), Watkins’ performance is even more impressive given his injury-plagued rookie season. At just 24, he’s got a real shot at a roster spot if he stays healthy, especially with injuries already thinning the receiver corps. Keep an eye on both—Stribling’s the shiny new toy, but Watkins might be the one who quietly makes the biggest impact.
